Duration: 10 s
Description: Deep blue water fills a straight canal whose sloping banks are lined with pale concrete; it runs away across flat desert dotted with low scrub toward a range of brown mountains, a wire fence following its left bank. Canals and aqueducts carried water from the Colorado to farms in Arizona and California and to the cities of southern California.
